That Your Joy Might Be Full
What if the thing you enjoy most also brings joy to God’s heart as well? While recording one of the last Engage videos about God’s pruning in our lives Wayne was struck with the phrase, “that my joy might be in you, that your joy might be full.” Is that Jesus’ purpose in our lives, to bring us to the fullness of joy? Religion leaves us with the impression that we are despicable creatures God has to clean up before he can hardly tolerate us. It teaches us to mistrust every desire we have and fear that every obedience is the thing we’d least like to do. But what if we have it all wrong, and that our deepest desires are his, too? Then sin is not about denying us what we really enjoy, but exposing the counterfeit desires in our hearts, so we can find those real desires that we get to share with our Creator. Podcast Links:
